Thanksgiving Thankfulness

Remember when you were a little kid and every year at Thanksgiving you would be asked what you were thankful for and what Thanksgiving meant to you? This week I’ve been putting my children through the ringer trying to get them to share their special memories of Thanksgiving and what they are thankful for. If you have ever done this, you know their responses can be kind of interesting sometimes! This is how my family’s conversation went:

“So guys, what are you most thankful for?”

My eldest went first:

“I’m thankful for Fridays, because I don’t have to do any homework and I can play with my friends!” – J, age 9

“I’m thankful for ponies and dolphins and all of the zookeepers. Oh and for learning how to read.” –E, age 6
